Marissa Mayer’s Yahoo Inc. Gives $50,000 to Republicans

Yahoo Inc. has made a $50,000 contribution to a political committee assisting Republican candidates in state races across the country.

Yahoo Inc., under the leadership of CEO Marissa Mayer, has contributed $50,000 to the Republican State Leadership Committee, a Section 527 organization. The RSLC reported to the Internal Revenue Service it had receipts of $1,080,337 and expenditures of $741,607 during July. The report was just made available by the IRS, which is still working to get their disclosure website back on track.

I guess with the Republican party being nothing but a bunch of yahoos these days, it’s only appropriate.

MM is a smart woman to spread the wealth. It’s no secret to locals that Silicon Valley is very politically left leaning. With the explosion of independent blog and social sites and digital broadcasting/media, if the companies want to keep consumers interested from the other side of the aisle, about half the nation, they need to at least appear less biased.
